Practicing magic skills in reverse unexpectedly became the supreme immortal skills

Yue'er was about to end her tragic life when she suddenly heard footsteps outside. She quickly hid the dagger in her bosom.

Huh! It seems my hearing has improved; I can hear such faint footsteps.

Could this be another change brought about by the young master last night?

With a creak, the door opened, and Qing'er slipped inside.

"Yue'er, the young master is awake. Let's take him for a walk in the courtyard," Qing'er said calmly.

"Okay!" Yue'er hurriedly stood up from the chair, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Qing'er watched Yue'er without a word, noticing that the girl seemed to have been crying.

If it weren't for the young master wanting to tame her, she would have loved to give her a couple of slaps.

Little girl, you'd better resist until the end, or I swear I'll beat you until even your own mother won't recognize you.

The two returned to Huang Ye's room.

Seeing Huang Ye still lying on the bed, Yue'er's pounding heart finally calmed a bit.

"Young master, Yue'er is here."

Yue'er was taken aback, looking at Qing'er in surprise, not understanding why Qing'er said that.

"Yes!"

A simple word, yet it struck Yue'er like a bolt from the blue; it was a voice from the bed.

Her legs trembled uncontrollably. How could the young master respond? The thing she dreaded most had happened—the young master had woken up!

Huang Ye slowly sat up from the bed.

"Ah! Young, young master! You're awake!" Yue'er stammered in a panic.

Seeing Huang Ye's half-smiling expression, Yue'er's heart almost jumped out of her chest.

"That's right, I'm awake."

Yue'er's heart was a mix of emotions. When did the young master wake up? Did he know about last night's events?

"Con-congratulations, young master!"

Huang Ye nodded.

"Who sent you?"

Yue'er's heart tightened.

"Young master, I don't understand what you're asking?"

Yue'er feigned ignorance, but her voice was already trembling.

"Do you know your crime?"

With those words, Huang Ye shattered the defenses in Yue'er's heart.

Unable to hold on any longer, she collapsed to the ground, her face pale as a ghost.

No wonder she had felt the young master was acting strange these past few days. Ever since that day, something had been off.

It seemed the young master had been awake for a while and knew she intended to harm him.

"Young master, this servant knows her crime is unforgivable. I don't even ask for mercy; perhaps death would be a relief."

Yue'er said with a vacant look in her eyes.

After speaking, two streams of tears flowed uncontrollably.

"Relief? Yue'er, you're too naive."

"Young master, I'll tell you whatever you want to know. I only ask for a quick death."

"Let's hear what you have to say first, or I don't mind making you wish you were dead."

"Young master, this servant was sold to the residence a month ago and was assigned to you shortly after entering."

"Half a month ago, while I was alone in the room, a Black Robe Person suddenly came in."

"She was wrapped entirely in a black robe, with a black cloth covering her face and hair."

"I only knew she was a woman."

"She seemed to deliberately lower her voice. I'm not familiar with the residence, so even if she didn't change her voice, I wouldn't recognize her."

"She gave me a packet of medicine, telling me to give it to you. She said that after taking it, you'd feel weak all over."

"She instructed me to first injure you below, then kill you!"

"She told me an escape route, saying that after succeeding, I should leave Silver Moon City immediately, and she would give my family five hundred taels of silver."

"Oh! So you were going to kill me for money?" Huang Ye asked coldly.

Yue'er gave a bitter smile.

"Young master, I'm not stupid. I figured there would be an ambush on my escape route; they wouldn't leave any witnesses."

"Even if I did escape, my family wouldn't get the silver and would be implicated by me, unable to escape death."

"So I told her I didn't dare to assassinate, but she threatened my family."

"I had no choice but to agree."

"In fact, I knew from the moment she found me, I was already dead. My life is worthless, not worth mentioning."

"I just couldn't bear to leave my mother and younger brother."

"I originally thought of ending it all, but I knew it was useless. That person would surely kill my family in revenge."

"And in your condition at the time, she would have arranged for someone else to assassinate you; you wouldn't escape death."

"So a few days ago, I tried to poison and assassinate you, but you managed to avoid it."

"After that failure, I thought it through. This was an unsolvable situation."

"Whether I killed you or not, my family and I couldn't escape death, and you were innocent."

"So when I had another chance, I hesitated, thinking to delay as long as possible, but a couple of days ago, that woman came again."

"I told her that Sister Qing'er was injured and by your side, making it temporarily impossible to act. She gave me another packet of medicine to give you long-term."

"But I never used it, fearing it was poison, so I didn't dare give it to you."

"I know my crime is unforgivable. I had already decided to end it all today; I didn't want to die with the crime of killing my master."

"Before I die, I only ask one thing: for Sister Qing'er to notify my family to flee from here."

After saying this, Yue'er felt a complete sense of relief, the shadow that had weighed on her heart for over ten days finally lifted.

With a bitter smile, she reached into her bosom, pulled out the dagger, and without hesitation, moved to slash her throat.

But just as the dagger touched her neck, a delicate hand firmly grasped Yue'er's wrist.

The dagger only left a faint blood mark.

Huang Ye gave Qing'er a thumbs up, silently praising her.

Yue'er's action was too quick; he was still in bed, analyzing whether Yue'er was lying.

He hadn't expected the girl to be so resolute, ready to use the knife at the slightest disagreement, leaving him no time to react.

"Foolish girl, do you think suicide will bring relief? Have you thought about your family?"

"Family, this servant is considering her family, hoping to use her life to give them a chance at survival."

"You're wrong. How do you know I won't kill your family? How do you know that Black Robe Person will spare them? What right do you have to ask Qing'er to notify your family to flee?"

"Young master, I can only gamble, gamble on that slim possibility."

"Foolish girl, gambling is the most foolish way. Only by living can you break the situation. If you die, all hope is lost."

"Even if I spare your family and have Qing'er notify them, do you think they can escape the pursuit of martial artists?"

"That would depend on their fate. This servant has committed a capital crime, and if my family suffers because of me, they can only accept their fate."

"You know you've committed a capital crime, but haven't you thought of atoning for it?"

"Young master, this servant is a weak woman, unable to even truss a chicken, and is being coerced. How can I atone?"

"Unable to truss a chicken, you could say that yesterday. But today, are you still unable to?"

"This, it seems today is a bit different."

"You were able to move me and change the bed sheets; today, you're not the same as before."

"Young master, you were awake last night too." A hint of blush appeared on Yue'er's pale face.

"Whether I was awake or not doesn't matter. You are now mine; your life and death are up to me."

"Although you intended to kill me, it was out of desperation, and you didn't act again, showing your heart isn't bad."

"I'm not a bloodthirsty person. To err is human; as long as you sincerely repent and are willing to follow me, sparing your life is no problem."

"But if I find any falsehoods, don't blame me for being ruthless. I won't spare you just because of our relationship."

"Young master, everything this servant said is true. If you think this servant is still useful, I'm willing to serve you for a lifetime."

"Alright, get up and sit on the chair. I have some questions for you."

Yue'er obediently sat on the chair.
